WASHINGTON CRY, March 5-When tie
conference report on the Notifications bill

senate Friday Dawes said he would have the
senate and house bills printed in The Record
that the country might juige between them
He added that the irreconcilable difference
was on the question of guns-whether the
country should have steel or iron guns,
the house declaring for iron. German said
this was not quite fair, as the house confer
rees were willing to provide for steel guns,
but insisted that an appropriation be made
to encourage the inventive genius of the
country to produce the guns. Hawley said
there was no fertilization bill for the current
year, nor for next year. There was nc
money TO cut the grass along the glaces OF
tine forts or to buy shingles or nails for the
CID sheds and dwellings Of the forts-not
one solitary cent The work was stopped
and all the property at these forts were left
to wrack and ruin for the coming two years.
Tbs simple statement of that fact was a
most extraordinary indictment of some
body"
In the house in reporting on the same bill
Randall stated that the senate bill involved
an expenditure of over SO, 900, 900, while the
house bill, which the majority of the HOUSE
conferrees were willing to adopt, appro
priated $1,000, 900. He obtained leave tc

between them

TIE DAILY ARGUS.
JOHN W. POTTER.
SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1887.

The foIty-ninth congress ended its
existence at high noon Friday. The last
few days were devoted to the considera-
ton of appropriation bills, which were
withheld longer this session than for many
years. 1t seems rather strange proceed
ure to the average citizen to keep the
most important legislation to the last. but
the congressman and senators appear to
regard it as the proper eaper. Several
regular appropriation bills failed of en-
actment-the Notifications bill, the river
and harbor bill and the deficiency bill
They were all important measures, but the
greatest regret in the west is naturally felt
over the failure of the river and bGrbOE
bill, with the Hennepin canal clause
The bill failed of passage By resson of
the presidents action or rather inaclion,
for be withheld his signature No tx
PLANTATION is given for bis refusal 10 attach
his official signature to the bill, SO the
cause can merely be coujectured. The
lateness of the hour at which II Was
handed him might seem to be sufficient
excuse for the presidents apparent disin
terestedness in the success of the measure,
but it is more plausible to think that he
took exception to some of its provisions,
While the Hennepin canal clause went
down with the bill, 1t is not 10 be inferred
that the president was hostile To that
measure, although such may be the case
Nevertheless its d,feat is much 10 be
deprecated. After such long struggle
for recognition in congress. 1t is quite en-
asperating To have such a u.eritoTj0us
measure defeated inst as success seemed
assured The check, howevtr, is cnly
temporarily, as with each agitation Of
the question congress becomes more fully
cognizant of its merits as a national ben,
eff and requirement.
